Cranberry Bounce Test (pdf) | Cranberry Bounce Test (MS Word)Intended for Grades 4, 5 and 6; especially for Grade 4 but appropriate for others as well (2 pages): Designed as a true scientific experiment, complete with a problem, hypothesis, test, observations and conclusions. The ‘test,’ as to how many cranberries out of 20 bounce versus how many do not (i.e. good berries versus rotten berries), is repeated at two to three-day intervals over the course of ten days, for a total of 5 times, with the expectation that as the berries are left out at room temperature during that time, more and more of them will become soft during the 10-day period as they begin to rot. The conclusion section asks some good questions, such as: Did more berries bounce in the earlier trials or later trials? Why do you think this happened? There is also an optional graphing exercise at the end. NOTE: The “Cranberry Facts” and “Cranberry Crossword” (in that order) would be good to present to the students after completion of the Cranberry Bounce Test.
